    Looking forward to see your solution since it is on my to do list...(with same wheels as yours)

    @R0Sch I'm flattered with your compliment. I wanted to point out that LEGO as such as big global player they are need to make agreements with companies they have license contract with, so gentleman don't be too disappointed and brainstorm how to modify the set to suit your perception of F1 car

    I was referring more on things like suspension because using pull rod suspension causes other changes in approach because everything is connected IRL of motorsport and teams (constructors) are looking for best compromise; just one hint - Renault R26 had additional shock absorber that acts as mass damper that at the end was key point because whole car was constructed around it - mass damper was a key for efficient cornering and as such it has high influence on aerodynamics...so pull rod suspension could always be an indicator for some aerodynamic solution in eyes of competition

    I didn't know exact time they need but it was just my opinion. I need 2 years to finish my proper MOC and then Lego introduces part that turns my building upside down ...and back to the drawing board...

    Good question. Friend of mine worked in Working in early 2000s (he was mathematician) and said that there were measures like you are working for secret service. Since you know what kind of problems are causing lepin and co to LEGO, you can imagine what is in F1. IMHO best compromise would be waiting for official presentation of real MCL36 and make as close as possible bodywork (suspension, steering, engine I think is not such problem) and even if release will be in May it would be more understandable from our side than this scenario....but it is easy to general after war... I just hope that out discussion didn't go to far off topic...after all it is all important what goddess Juno moneta thinks

    Maybe McLaren wanted this way in order to prevent leaking information of their F1 development to competition and even Lego model can indicate some solution; you have to realize that in F1 is most extreme competition and rivalry for decades and often ahead of it's time...in 1994 some engineers from space program (at the time they worked with NASA in the States) went to Cossworth (who supplied Benetton with engines) to share their experience about using exotic material and founded out that F1 is miles ahead of their space program. Remember that in F1 only 1% improvement on lap time means 1 second quicker per lap which means over minute to one lap quicker in whole race!

    Well, we had that situation before; rarely but yes it is unlikely. Despite it is just my opinion, but we should not give us to much headache about livery. IMHO more important is what functionality is implemented and how realistic...

    Yes front reminds me on Chevy truck rods from 50'. It is very nice alternative
  9. 1gor
    James Kay said it is not final version; there will be different car in upcoming testing days

    Real McLaren F1 car for this year's championship has pull rod suspension, so let's give Lego some time until first reviews appear. Then we will be smarter.

    And you made a great job
  12. 1gor
    You have plausible philosophy
  13. 1gor
    @Brickthus, there was easier way to get 4 Tumbler tires than buying 2 Tumbler vehicles; you could just buy 2 drag racers 42050 sets
  14. 1gor
    Extraordinary and highly realistic build.
  15. 1gor
    Finally someone build MOC of real thing designed with style and elegance. Beautiful

    FIA reads our comments I remember that; you're right, we were complaining about unrealistic tires. But tires from 42000 are not slicks, they are imitating tires introduced in 1998...very confusing indeed
  17. 1gor
    "Problem" is that 42141 set represents 2022 F1 car which has 18" wheels with lower profile tires (regulations based) and this (I suppose) MP4-5 has 13" with high profile tires (tires that move more and act a bit like extra suspension). Tumbler tire is a"fat" tire, or tire with volume (not low profile)... Really hard to tell, but I suppose that would be one if first mods.
  18. 1gor
    This one looks much better with tumblers than this year's McLaren...
  19. 1gor
    Yes, but I was hoping for some bigger tires; with 75mm tires it woul be relatively small (original has 1500mm tires, so it could fit Lego Xerion) That one is very cool (I have even use rims - 43.2 x 26
  20. 1gor
    Yes,there are several interesting tractors that I would like to replicate; even some concepts like this one ...
  21. 1gor
    That is the reason I make 1:15 scale (for 1:18 there is no place for PF components) My Syn-Trac project needs such in black, but as you sad there are none yet...
  22. 1gor
    Thanks for permission Regards For 3 x 9 curved panel can't you use 3 x 7 curved and 2 extensions?
  23. 1gor
    It is tumbler tire.... please look at 42141 tread...the same you Emailed me on Unimog axle years ago buddy
  24. 1gor
    I'm afraid that shipping to U.S. is not cheap at all; despite that I'll probably sell all my Lego that will remain after I build what I plan (several tractors, 2-3 telehandlers, Unimog (evolution of my 423), 2 harvesters, 2 trucks and probably some forest machines...and perhaps some classic car at realistic I can make it)
  25. 1gor
    Today I have tried this solution and it us indeed faster and power output is continuous what is great when using XL motors. Eventually I will try tomorrow with higher upgearing and heavy duty differentials to gain overall reduction like with PF L motors on last version. (I keep in mind that L motors rotate some 315 rounds per minute and XL 220 rounds per minute, so tractor would be slower anyway than last version)
